Porter 5 Forces Analysis


Soft Drinks – Porter 5 Forces [1]

Threat of New Entrants/Potential Competitors: Median Pressure Entry barriers are relatively low for beverage industry: there is

almost 0 consumer switching cost and very low capital requirement. There are more and more new brands appearing in the market with usually lower price than Coke products

However Coca-Cola is seen not only as a beverage but also as a brand. It has a very significant market share for a long time and loyal customers are not very likely to try a new brand beverage.

Threat of Substitute Products: Median to high pressure There are many kinds of energy drink and soda products in the

market. Coca-cola doesn’t really have a special flavor. In a blind taste test, people couldn’t tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi

Soft Drinks – Porter 5 Forces [3]The Bargaining Power of Buyers: Low pressure The individual buyer has little to no pressure on Coca-Cola The main competitor, Pepsi is priced almost the same as Coca-Cola. Consumer could buy those new and less popular beverages with lower price

but the flavor is different and the quality is not guaranteed. Large retailers, like Wal-Mart, have bargaining power because of the large

order quantity, but the bargaining power is lessened because of the end consumer brand loyalty.

There are many kinds of energy drink and soda products in the market. Coca-cola doesn’t really have a special flavor. In a blind taste test, people couldn’t tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

People are getting concerns of negative effects of carbonated beverages. Increasing number of consumers begin to drink fruit juice, lemonade and tea instead of soda products.

The Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Low pressure The main ingredients for soft drink include carbonated water,

phosphoric acid, sweetener, and caffeine. The suppliers are not concentrated or differentiated.

No supplier would want to lose a huge customer like Coca-Cola.

Rivalry Among Existing Firms: High Pressure Currently, the main competitor is Pepsi which also has a wide range

of beverage products under its brand. Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi are the predominant carbonated beverages and commit heavily to sponsoring outdoor festivals and activities. As Coca-Cola has a longer history, it is advertised in a more classical approach while Pepsi tried to attract younger generation by using pop stars as brand ambassadors. Currently Coca-Cola slightly topped Pepsi as the possessor of the most U.S market share.

There are other soda brands in the market that become popular, like Dr. Pepper, because of their unique flavors.

Soft Drinks – Porter 5 Forces [6] So what do you think? Should we compete with Coca-Cola as a new entrant?

As a Supplier going into their market?As a buyer going into their market?
